Cheap Flights to Boston Bar from HK$390

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Boston Bar. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Boston Bar a breeze. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
